Need the following engraving translated into as short a version as possible, but retaining the words and eloquence, for a sword I have been commissioned to work on-

Quote:
"Forged in the name of Nuada" on one side
"Wielded with honor in his name" on the other.


Go raibh maith agat Smile

I know this is probably wrong, a Bhreandain, but for what it's worth-

Gaibhnaithe i h-ainm Nuada Le h-onóir beartaím(a)(ithe) i ainm é.

You're on the right track, Jim:

Gaibhnithe in ainm Nuada
Beartaithe le honóir ina ainm

Something must've finally clicked. Even though I'm still off, I'm getting the gist. I'm even starting to need the dictionary less and less. Mr. Green
